You know, I've used the language and iconography of football matches to describe ancient battle tactics. The language of it fits perfectly, teams look to "flank" opponents (use fast, mobile units to attack weaknesses on the flanks). They look to use a strong heavy infantry (forward) to smash the opponents "formation" (as LLoret did for the Iberians last night). There are teams that utilise personal flair, and others that are organised and disciplined/some that look to wave after wave of attcks, and others that patiently defend their lines and look for the chance to make the killer punch through enemy lines. Talismanic figures (champions) are often utilised to rally the 'troops', and the individual units' are reliant on confidence in their colleagues, and the tactics of their commander.
